Engineering plastics are the new choice of materials in various end-user industries. Engineering plastics are preferred mainly due to their properties such as high dimensional stability, good strength, high heat and chemical resistance. The engineering plastics market is growing at a robust rate and this growth is expected to continue in the foreseeable future. This growth is due to its excellent physical properties and its ability to be used as a replacement for traditional materials, such as metal and wood, used in various end-user industries.

Engineering plastics market is experiencing rapid growth, which is expected to continue in the near future, mainly driven by the highly growing Asia-Pacific region and ability of engineering plastics to replace metals in various end user industries. Presently, Asia-Pacific and Western Europe are the largest consumers of engineering plastics.

Demand for engineering plastics is estimated to be highest in automotive & transportation industry and consumer & appliances industry. Automotive & transportation industry is projected to increase at the highest rate. The key drivers of the industry are the increased applications, specifically under-the-hood applications and the strict regulations regarding fuel economy. High volatility in the prices of raw-materials for engineering plastics is one of the major restraining factors that prevails in the market. Increased applications in building & construction industry and growing interior, exterior and under the hood applications in automobile industry, supplement its consumption in developing countries. These countries would serve as the upcoming opportunities in the market.
